My Illusion of Normal
The Peculiar Case of Jean Stevens

by Tom Carman

This book is the true story and behind-the-scene look into the case of Jean Stevens. A case that would change my life, both professionally and personally, forever. Together, Jean and I learned from each other. This case is particularly of interest since it caters to the topic of death and life and how loneliness brings havoc in our normally functioning life. Since death separates one being from the other, the feeling of never meeting the one that is gone is excruciating. This permanent separation can drive people to do things they wouldn’t usually consider doing. How far would you go to remain with the ones you love? You will learn how far an elderly woman went to remain with hers.

“Many have suffered, rejoiced, celebrated, killed, and died in the name of love. Jean would assign a definition to love that was unprecedented not only in our country but in the entire world.”
